This week’s theme is: A Favorite Books from 2016!
There were a lot of great books I discovered this year. Some I had a feeling I’d love, while a few were total surprises. Many of these novels were new releases, but more than a few were older stories that I had somehow missed or overlooked when they were initially released. One in the later category is the book I’ve chosen to highlight today.
ORIGINAL COVER
There were many covers to choice from which could have been the original version. Obviously, there was an original Polish cover, but there were many more from other countries as well. Ultimately, I attempted to find the original English language book. Hopefully, I picked the correct one, if not, please let me know.
FAVORITE COVERS
All of these covers capture the sword and sorcery vibe of The Last Wish. Certainly, they are all similar in style, but I suppose since I like the image of the Witcher they are presenting that fact does not bother me very much.
LEAST FAVORITE COVERS
There is nothing horrible about any of these covers. I mean, they are certainly serviceable, if not eye-catching. For whatever reason though, I do not really like any of them. It isn’t that I hate them, but they are fairly MEH to me.
So what do you think? Agree or disagree?
I’ve heard of the videogame The Witcher. Is the game based on these books, or are the books spawned from the game?

Game is based on the books.

well… kind of, technically everything that happens in games takes place after the book series had ended 😉
I think the brown cover was indeed the original English one. I grew up on those white-ish Polish covers with seemingly random graphics in the middle
